    Thanks Crash.That is very concerning. They are certainly desperate and I believe ashamed of Ardern''s authoritarian, closed and unkind leadership. She will be vilified in a decade or so when the dust settles, and appropriately so. However, for me there is another concerning part to this.
    I was initially unable to follow the link because it said I was banned from all tinyurl.com links.
    So I bypassed the ban and looked into the reason, which was that I was based in New Zealand and that an unspecified complaint had been made about a large number of IP addresses in this country.
    I followed their rules and addressed the complaint, explaining that no ban was appropriate and why. They responded remarkably quickly and said they were reviewing the original ban request.
    Only ten minutes or so later I was able to open the url without bypassing the ban.
    I am not prepared to speculate on the cause of this but am going to be very, very watchful for the next few weeks.
    Something may not be kosher in the state of... (with an apology to William Shakespeare).

    I got the message "Sorry, you have been blocked
    You are unable to access tinyurl.com" as well, so if it is going to be
    released that has not yet happened.

    Yes it has.

    You need to ask someone for help.

    Thanks. I tried the tinyurl just a minute or so ago and it still gave
    the "Sorry you have been blocked" message.

    Good to see a ready admission of a mistake. We have yet to see the
    resolution of budget problems from National - both the issue over
    whether the foreign owners house purchase issue or the taxing gambling
    profits from overseas gambling sites. There's a long way to go until
    the election.

    Clearly they still have some IPs blocked, I can access tinyurl.com since I contacted them.
